CSectTTest: Cross-Sectional T Test (CSectTTest)

In EventStudy: Event Study Analysis

Cross-Sectional T Test (CSectTTest)

Description

The Cross-Sectional Test (CSect T) is a statistical tool employed in event studies to evaluate the null hypothesis that the average abnormal return at the event date is zero. The test statistic is distributed as t_{N-1}, where N is the number of events in that group.
